In response to an invitation from Claridge, Montreal, Canada, we have created a site-specific installment of the MOLAF for permanent display within their collection, located in Montreal's historic Windsor Building.

A translation of our 21st installment, this new iteration of the MOLAF takes shape as a custom cabinet containing four MOLAF-made "Approximations" representing sculptures from our collection by Jason de Haan, Antje Majewski and Olivier Guesselé Garai, Serge Murphy, and Jade Yumang.

We are pleased to present our third bookwork, A small and not ostentatious chamber with whose decorations no fault can be found. A MOLAF-oriented adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s essay “The Philosophy of Furniture,” the book is co-published by The Rooms.

In conjunction with the new publication, we have designed and built a limited edition MOLAF placeholder.
